THE AVANT-GARDE
SURREALISM
Found his inspiration in the world of dreams. He called his method of composition
paranoic-critical because he created his work in a state
of paranoia or delirium represented by strange,
recurring images, sucha as watches that appear to be melting. Dalí demonstrated
a masterful technique in painting
SALVADOR DALÍ

SURREALISM
Also got his inspiration from fantasy and reams buth
with very different results. He used flat, colured
backgrounds where twisted or geometrical shapes of vibrant colours seem to
float. His paintings have a characteristic sense of
humour
